WHAT IS GARDENING AND GOODWILL?

Hello!!

 

What exactly is gardening? I searched it but only came up with people saying they were gardening, but no real explantion of it.

 

Also, I am fairly certain I understand what goodwill letters are, but if anyone has examples of them and how to get the address, email, etc to send them? My issues are a four or five years old, but that seven year rule is taking way too long and is really a burden on my report.

 

I have a couple of charge offs, one disputed collection that I have paid off, and a 120 day late that I want to send a goodwill letter to. NEVER KNOW!

 

Thank you in advance, and excuse my ignorance Smiley Happy

Gardening is not applying for new credit and allowing you current cards to age while making ontime payments. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: WHAT IS GARDENING AND GOODWILL?

OK thanks.  I have WAY too many inquires (10-15) because I just learned about a year ago what those meant and how long they were on your report. TIme to garden.
